ATLANTA -- A Clayton County couple was unable to get to a local hospital late Thursday night because of flooding.
Elliott Westmoreland told 11Alive's Ryan Kruger his wife was going into diabetic shock and needed medical attention at Southern Regional Hospital.
The couple was unable to travel in their car over local roads because of flooding, so instead got on a bus, which also was unable to make it to the hospital.
"I've lived in Clayton County all of my life and I've never seen flooding like this," said Westmoreland, who said his wife was in good spirits while they were still attempting to get her medical attention.
Earlier Thursday evening, Clayton police said a portion of Upper Riverdale Road was closed due to flooding. The roadway is flooded at Upper Riverdale Road from Garden Walk Boulevard up to Arrowhead Boulevard.
Flash flood warnings for Clayton, DeKalb, Fayette, Fulton and Henry counties remain in effect until 1:45 am Friday.
